In a historic election, actor Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has emerged as the single largest party in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, winning 108 out of 234 seats. This victory challenges the longstanding dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, which has ruled for over 50 years. Vijay, who launched TVK in 2024, is now being seen as a serious contender for the Chief Minister position in the upcoming 2026 elections. His party's performance has sparked discussions about potential alliances, as they are short of the majority by 10 seats. Other parties, including Congress and various communist factions, may align with TVK to form a government. Vijay won his seats in Trichy East and Perambur, with indications that he may choose to retain the Perambur seat while resigning from Trichy East.
